I'm Quoting From a Related Post by Vickram Krishna in Ilug-Bombay List To address Mumbai Cyber cafe issue in a different way http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20070604/059989.html <quote> Why are we still concerned about cybercafes? They are meant for people who cannot or do not wish to own their own computers. But the leaders of this state (especially the ones who live in Kalanagar) have decided that the free flow of information is not good for the ordinary people of this state. Their goons are vandalising cybercafes, and the police have sent out notices (not in Mumbai, but in Ulhasnagar and Dombivli, and in other towns in the state) asking cybercafes not to "show users the Orkut site". Needless to say, the press has been largely silent about this state of affairs. I also see little discussion of it in lists relating to IT in India. Evidently, the best way to live here is to wait until the leaders dole out largesse (free electricity and water) in return only for a simple vote. Oh yes, and perhaps a heavy stick to bash up anyone who thinks. </quote> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGa5nnF+jWtLmEaycRApwvAKCqinzHY+HOMSUzz+AAA4swZjUykACdG/Lx 6VBKoZ7GZNoXzt7JL/ASECg= =L4Fk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ greenyouth mailinglist is the activist support mailinglist for kerala To post to this group, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
